Wonderful people and some fantastic giveaways

Well, hello again....

It feels like a very long time since I was last here, and it's even a longer time since I did some blog "stalking".  There are over a 1,000 blogs in my Google Reader... oh my goodness, how did I ever get so far behind! 

The answer is easy - I have been so busy at work over the last few weeks that I haven't had time to spend me customary 1/2 hr or so at lunchtime catching up on everyone news, and the weekends I have been too tired to even turn the computer on.  So, today I have been making a very concerted effort to catch up and visit as many blogs as possible.  And I will do some more catching up tomorrow...

While visiting blogs today I have seen that there are some very lovely people out there having the most wonderful giveaways.  I have posted links to some of the ones that I found below:
